Has anyone done this ? I still have a lifetime warranty with my Astra but I am fed up with the seat tilt mechanism breaking now itís not covered. How reliable is the Insignia VXR and what are the real world MPG? I had a Vectra VXR prior to the Astra and had it for 4 years never let me down and didnít go wrong? I am beginning to loose faith with the Vauxhall brand.

After being driven hard for 10 mins the whole front end vibrates really bad. It almost feels like a flat tyre.
This has happened a couple of times and only seems to disappear once it's cooled down.
The car is completely standard.
Anyone have any ideas where to start?

Once again another gem form Australia (we made the engine after all.....). This time on the intake manifold side.

For the record i've always run my cars with a thermal gasket/insulator of some sort between the engine block and intake manifold, it's a 5hp $60 AUD mod for the MK7 accord I have. They've always had results, especially given than Australia is a warm place.

So I found it interesting that nothing was available in the A28NET/NER.

Then I did a search using other engine codes for our car, the GM one: LP9, then HFV6 (high-feature V6).

Granted it's a lot more expansive than the teflon gaskets I've used in the past but this came with new extended bolts, which is what most of the price increase went into.

It's the next thing on my mod list, again another thing around heat management (like my RSS downpipe which is getting Techline thermal coated as we speak)

So Im doing some research lately on the brake rotors for the front, which mine is down to ~50% in the space of a year and half.

There is no way I'm paying almost $2000 AUD for OEM Rotors (thanks to shipping...) As it turned out, the 355 front brake we have on the euro is Shared with the following cars:

So if you really want to cheap out you can get one of those 1 piece rotors:
DiskBrakeAustralia (DBA):

T2 range (street usage)

DBA2604 (plain)

DBA2604S (slotted)

DBA2604X (slotted&cross drilled)

DBA T3 range (DBA CLUBSPEC ROAD & RACE)

DBA42604S

Or if you like me, want to stay with 2 piece but dont want to pay Brembo prices:

DBA T3 2 PIECE rotor and hat (Clubspec Road and Race)

DBA52604BLKS

They are $594 AUD or 277 GBP each, they are not directional

Once you have the above, you can buy DBA rotor rings by itself in the future as re-fill, you can choose between:

DBA52604.1 (Plain)

DBA52604.1S (slotted)

DBA52604.1XS (slotted & cross drilled)

rotor rings are $310AUD (~170 GBP) each.

Im going with the DBA 2 piece with hat then in the future use the DBA refills, works out much cheaper in the long run.
note: THOSE PARTS ARE NOT SEARCHABLE UNDER "OPEL/VAXHUALL INSIGNIA" on DBA EUROPEs page.

They are listed under HOLDEN INSIGNIA (we kept the best stuff for ourselves lol)

PS: im also currently researching REAR BREMBO upgrade for the insignia, as it turning out the FWD Insignia Platform is more similar to the RWD Holden Commodore platform than it appears, both uses similar cable operating electric handbrake (for my spec anyway).
